What: "Both men came from well to do families; both had physician fathers who met bad ends-Clarence Hemingway committed suicide, Belmont Bogart destroyed himself with morphine addiction-and mothers who chose artistic vocations.....Both were political liberals, both men had four wives, both were overfond of alcohol, both were notorious for riding friends and foes alike...Either man could spot a phone through lead walls" From page 245 in the linked book.
